has anyone bought lights from ijdmtoy/motoringmax?
Hey i recently bought error free LEDs from ijdmtoy/motoringmax. they were supposed to be for my parking lights. but they dont fit the bulb housing. it says it should be a direct replacement.
so have any of you had this problem? or was it just me?
Brian

interesting enough, i got a reply from jdmtoy.
The stock 2825 bulb wedge width is 0.365 and the OBC Error Free T10 LED bulb is 0.372
thats what they said. so i need to get some fine sand paper 2m morning and start sanding them down to fit. -_-
just a bad batch for me?

they said to try sanding them down to fit because its supposed to be the size i need.
and they said if it doesnt work, then i can return them. lol which i think is quite nice.

unlucky me then. . .
i shaved them down to fit and turned them on, and still no luck.
i reversed the polarity to see if that would work too. still no go.
i even checked by putting oem bulbs in there to make sure the wires didnt fry. and those turned on. haha
so i guess get them exchanged. im surprised everyone else's bulb fit right in and mine didnt =/
update: they are closed till jan3rd. so i wont get a reply till then. lol

i might just return the led's and run no parking lights
lol is that illegal?
i mean i feel if they are going to be off white or yellow ish, its kinda pointless to all the lights im getting.
